The Annual Campaign

The Annual Campaign offers the opportunity to alumni, friends, staff, faculty, and business partners to give to Excelsior College on an annual basis. It is one of the few sources of unrestricted dollars for Excelsior College and is vital to the College's ongoing creativity and responsiveness.

Annual Campaign gifts are put to use immediately where they are needed most and support student scholarships, faculty resources, academic programs and innovation, and technological and media resources – all the things that make up the Excelsior experience.

Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Participation matters too. When more people give, it demonstrates the value of investing in Excelsior College. The percentage of alumni who give each year is one of the factors considered by corporations, foundations, and ranking organizations when making philanthropic decisions.
